Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Appsterdam at 5.0 against Groupvibe's 4.2. Appsterdam also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Groupvibe's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
